Description: |
* Develops a major new theory of modern warfare, based around the idea that risks in modern war are placed on civilians rather than the military. * Written by a leading sociologist of war, the book includes analyses of recent conflicts such as the two Iraq wars, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Kosovo and the Falklands. |
Synopsis: |
In this new work, Martin Shaw charts the development of a new warfare, after Vietnam, through the Falklands, the Gulf, Kosovo and Afghanistan, and argues that, in Iraq and the War on Terror, the USA has consistently flouted the key rules that enabled Western states to fight these earlier wars successfully. |
